About this listen

In this episode of The Weird Years, I sit down with Shannon, founder of Simpl Living Co, a minimalist-minded professional organiser, to talk about how clutter might be adding to the chaos.


We explore why our 30s can feel like a “quarter-life crisis of accumulation,” and how stuff becomes a stand-in for all the people we thought we’d be. From spiralizers to ski jackets, we unpack the hidden stories in our clutter, the cycle of overconsumption, and why letting go can feel like therapy. But don't worry, she shares exact advice on how to clear your space to help clear your mind.


For anyone who’s cried over a drawer of tangled cables and ex-boyfriend hoodies, this one’s for you.
